B2B buyers use social media specifically to research vendors and inform their purchasing decisions. The term is "invisible buyers."

Invisible buyers are decision makers.
By the time a B2B buyer contacts your sales team, 70% of their decision is already made. They've visited your website, scanned your social profiles, read your content, and compared you against competitors — all without you knowing.
Full Metal Marketing positions your brand where these invisible buyers are already looking.

you ever see them.
Modern buyers are "Zappers." According to industry data, they research extensively on their own before engaging.
By the time a prospect reaches out, they are 60–70% through the decision process. In many cases, 50–80% of buyers have already formed their shortlist.
Studies show 75%+ of buyers use social specifically to research vendors and validate their first impressions.
The rules have changed. Here's the proof.
Three numbers your sales team needs to memorize. Each one is a measurable shift in how industrial buyers actually move through the funnel.
LinkedIn is more effective at generating leads than other major social platforms. Your invisible prospects are watching your presence right now.
Sales interactions between suppliers and buyers are occurring via digital channels. You might have a presence — but is it working for you?
Most industrial companies are posting. Almost none are converting.
Your invisible buyers are on LinkedIn, researching your competitors, reading your content — and forming opinions before they ever talk to sales. Full Metal Marketing can help you change that.
Social Media EvaluationStop posting on social media.
